Grilled Watermelon, Avocado and Shrimp Salad

A friend developed this recipe and I can't stop making it. It's got all the hits: watermelon, shrimp and avocado all grilled up and tossed together with fresh herbs and lemon. I guarentee you'll be cooking this for the rest of the summer!

Ingredients:

1 lb. peeled and deveined shrimp

3 lb. watermelon, cut into 2-inch wedges

3 spring onions, trimmed, green parts thinly sliced, white parts left whole

2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1⁄2-inch wedges

5 tbsp. olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 lemons, zested and juiced

1⁄2 cup basil leaves

1⁄2 cup mint leaves

1 English cucumber, cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces

Directions:

Light a grill; thread shrimp onto skewers. Brush shrimp, watermelon, white parts of spring onions, and avocados with 3 tablespoons oil; grill, turning once, until charred, about 4 minutes for shrimp, 7-8 minutes for watermelon, and 2-3 minutes for scallions and avocados. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a platter.

Remove watermelon rind and cut into 1-inch pieces; place in a large bowl. Remove shrimp from skewers and add to bowl with watermelon; cut spring onions into 1-inch pieces and add to bowl. Add spring onion greens, avocados, remaining oil, salt, pepper, lemon zest and juice, basil, mint, and cucumber and toss carefully to combine; transfer to a serving platter.
